2011 CL 63 and gas guzzler tax???
Anyone think the 2011 cl63 might get away with gas guzzler tax after having fuel efficiency improved by 25%.... Sure would be nice to save the 3 grand

It may be true. My 08 GL 550 only gets aboout 13-16 mpg on average and there was no gaz guzzler tax for that. The 2011 cl 63 is supposed to get about 18-19 mpg

My CL63 gets slightly over 20mpg on the highway and 11-12ish around town. I understand the gas mileage improvement on the 2011 is not currently being computed using the new stop/start technology which is only activated in "C" Mode on the CL & S63's, so the ultimate mpg improvement could conceivably be greater than the advertised 25%.

That tax applies only to passenger cars.

So I hope the cl 63 gets away from the 3K gas tax... I really do pay enough taxes already and it's getting a bit abusive
